WritwellTable of authorities, pleading paper, captions, live section and exhibit numbers, and defined-term checks for legal briefs in Google Docs

Writwell brings the brief-formatting tools lawyers rely on in Word to Google Docs: a table of authorities with real page numbers, pleading paper, a caption page, section and exhibit numbers with cross-references that follow along, and a defined-terms check. No AI, and your brief never leaves Google.

Table of authorities, built from your citations

What you get

• Table of authorities in Google Docs: cases, constitutional provisions, statutes, rules, regulations and secondary sources, grouped by category, with page numbers read from the document's own PDF layout and "passim" at 5 or more pages
• Detects Bluebook and California-style citations, parallel cites, short forms, Id. and supra, and counts their pages toward the full citation
• Review before it's built: include or leave out, change category, edit the wording, merge duplicates, mark anything the scan missed
• Citation checks: short forms with no full cite, Id. after a string cite, one citation with two case names, case names not italicized
• Pleading paper: 28 (or 26, or custom) numbered lines, double rule, right rule, footer rule with the document title, page setup and line spacing; California Rules of Court 2.104-2.111 preset
• Caption page with attorney block, court title and the parties/case number caption, updated in place
• Outline numbers for headings (I., A., 1.) and exhibit labels, with cross-references ("Section II.B", "Exhibit 3") that update when you renumber
• Defined terms check: used before defined, defined but unused, defined twice, inconsistent capitals
• Only opens the Doc you use it in; no AI, nothing leaves Google
